From Somewhere for Spring 2012

From Somewhere
Spring Summer 2012

Oooh! I'm loving the new Spring Summer '12 collection by From Somewhere. A creative sustainable label producing collections from luxury designer fabric off-cuts. Their SS12 collection also includes some of the season's key trends.

Of course, no Summer '12 collection would be complete without a nod towards to the Sixties, which continues to be a major influence. A simple shift dress has been created with panels of mixed textures, including a sky blue jacquard giving this 1960's classic a 2012 spin.

From Somewhere was established in 1997 by Orsola De Castro and Filippo Ricci. All womenswear collections are made by up-cycling high-end fashion and surplus textiles - fabric swatches, production off-cuts and end of rolls. The aim is to produce beautiful clothes that take into account the balance between consumpation and disposal.
